Claude Puel: Ben Arfa return to Nice was discussed last winter

Claude Puel said in an interview with Nice Matin that last winter there was discussion about a possible return for Hatem Ben Arfa to Nice.

The manager noted that the idea came up during that period, as the club weighs different options. For now, it hasn’t translated into an official move.

Puel made the point while reflecting on how clubs consider potential reinforcements in each window.
